Demonstration of technical and visual skills- Materials, techniques, observational skills, visual awareness, design and compositional skills
I used a lot of different material during this assignment, such as diffusers and tungsten and fluorescent lighting. I used them to the best of the ability that i possibly could under my given circumstances. However i did not have professional lighting, only what i had found round the house, which was in my opinion nowhere near strong enough. I did not have a proper diffuser but tracing paper instead. I didn't get the outcomes i had desired, however i did the best i could with what i had.
I always try to be visually aware, i hope this has shown through some of the exercises i have carried out.
Quality of outcome - Content, application of knowledge, presentation of work in a coherent manner, discernment, conceptualisation of thoughts, communication of ideas
I feel i have communicated my ideas well and written down exactly what was going on in my head at the time of photographing. I hope i have been logical in doing so. I have applied my knowledge of light and shadow where possible and tried to explain what i am doing along the way.
Demonstration of creativity - Imagination, experimentation,invention, development of a personal voice
The series of exercises i have carried i have seen more from a referential point of view. Using each photograph to see the different effects of different lighting at different times etc. and so perhaps haven't been as creative as i could have been as I've seen it more of a learning tool for future reference/ to widen my knowledge now but I'd like to think i have at least been slightly imaginative in doing so.
Content- reflection, research, critical thinking
I have carried out a few pieces of research on different photographers who use light during this assignment, however i can always do more. I'd like to think i have continually been reflective in my work as i have been going along.
Overall, I am perhaps slightly under satisfied with the work i have done here. Relying greatly on the weather/ time of day has been quite a hinderance. Limiting when certain tasks could be carried out.
My lack of quality equipment i have also found to be be a great hinderance, i do not feel i have always reach the outcome i probably should have if i was to have used professional equipment, or at least my results not as dramatic as i would have hoped. But i did the best that i could with what i had.
If i have time in the future i would certainly like to revisit a lot of this assignment.
